MARK + BRANDY | WEDDING AT ALOTTA COLADA BEACH HOUSE

A WARM, SUNNY BEACH WEDDING IN DESTIN, FLORIDA | APRIL 20, 2013

Talk about southern hospitality. Brandy is from Alabama, and she and Mark were high school sweethearts. I had the pleasure of staying with them and both their families in this glorious beach house. Every single person welcomed me like I was a long lost friend. Brandy + Mark are both sweet as honeysuckle in July, I tell you. And not only that, they were photography WARRIORS to brave my crack-brained scheme to do some steel wool light painting, and sparkler light painting. (I have a dog leash attached to a whisk, with some ignited steel wool stuffed inside, and I swing it around trying not to light my hair on fire.) They both held their positions like statues in the sand all while flaming chunks of steel whizzed past their heads. They are such a good team, and they have such a beautiful love.
